Recent scandal has been brought up in the Supreme Court regarding the republican pick, Brett Kavanaugh. Kavanaugh has been accused of sexual assault by Christine Blasey Ford. Ford says this assault took place over 30 years ago at a high school party with Kavanaugh and one of his friends. Although many want to believe Ford, she does not have much factual evidence to back up her claims on the stand.

On September 23, a second woman, Deborah Ramirez, accused Kavanaugh of sexual assault as well. Ramirez says this took place at a party at Yale University. Kavanaugh has denied both accusations and continues to plead innocent. On September 26, a third woman came forward, Julie Swetnick. These accusations are beginning to follow a pattern that could be discerning for Kavanaugh.

As of right now, President Trump says his opinion of Kavanaugh could be swayed in the hearings.
